I've just gone through a similar situation with an AVA-1505 card. It uses ioport 0x340 and irq 10 (or 11, can't remember just now). Try this at the command line, as root: modprobe aha152x io=0x340 irq=10 (try 11 if 10 doesn't work). On my AVA-1505 card, the above works and "lsmod" shows that the module is loaded. If I then do a "modprobe sr_mod", I get to use my SCSI cdrom. I automate the loading of the kernel modules, by putting the two modprobe lines as the last two lines in /etc/rc.local. That is the only way I've managed to get them to work; specifically, they won't work from an initrd. But I'm going to try the "append="aha152x=....." route next and see what happens. This SCSI card was not picked up by the installer for Mandrake 8.2 beta 2, nor did the installer allow me to manually configure the card. A post-install manual configuration is the only way that works. -- Cheers, Rob
